1927 - Looks like a mortising jig
1928 - Normally does two things. It provides a decorative effect and
it's main purpose is to secure a beam/cable or other object on the
interior of the wall to act as a support for either the wall or the item
in question. Acts like a fender washer and spreads the load over a wide
area.
1929 -
1930 - Which items? The calf hutches, the power poles, the trees or the
fencing?
1931 - 12 pound bar shot. For a cannon.
1932 -

1927 - I think this is some sort of combination saw jointer, gauge,
setting tool. Similar to:

Did some searching, couldn't find an exact patent match for it...

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
1927) Kind of difficult to make out details. It is a bit dark
and unless I save the images and process them to boost the
gamma I will have difficulties.
However -- based on what I *can* see, how about the possibility
that it is a grooving plane for making tongue and groove board
edges?
1928) Reinforcing plate used on old brick buildings. There is a steel
rod going through the building with one of these on each end
just outside the walls. It spreads the force of the rods out so
the bricks don't crumble, and allows the rod to keep the bricks
from bowing out and collapsing. These are quite common on the
brick buildings in Old Town Alexandria (Virginia).
1929) A cheese slicer, perhaps?
1930) I did save this image, and have discovered that it is too heavily
jpeged to allow any kind of detail on the objects.
As a guess, they might be beehives?
1931) Perhaps a "bucking bar" held against a relatively thin
workpiece to provide the necessary resistance when setting
rivets. It looks rather rough on this end for that, and looks
like wrought iron, so perhaps another function.
Perhaps an anchor for a rowboat? There the finish would not
matter.
1932) For sliding around blocks of ice? Looks as though it would
produce a nice grip in one direction, at least.
It could also be used for cutting a groove in such a block, to
make it break where desired.
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
